On Monday and Tuesday, control facilities and production facilities for robots and drones were attacked, among other things, by American aircraft and ships.

"These facilities were used in Huthi operations, such as attacks on American naval warships and merchant vessels in the southern Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden," according to Centcom.

On Tuesday, a rocket was fired from Yemen towards Israel, but it was shot down before it crossed into the country's territory, according to the Israeli military.

The Iran-backed Huthi militia in Yemen has taken responsibility for two rocket attacks on Israel, reports AFP. One of them was allegedly aimed at Tel Aviv's Ben Gurion Airport and the other at a power plant south of Jerusalem, according to a statement from the Huthis.

The movement also claims to have attacked the American aircraft carrier USS Harry S Truman. It is unclear whether this attack is one of those mentioned by Centcom in the afternoon.

"The attacks will continue until the aggression in Gaza stops," writes the Huthis' spokesperson Yahya Sarieh on X.
